indicator on the charger.
The battery pack can become a little warm during
the charging. This is normal.
If the battery pack fails to charge, check:
•
whether there is voltage at the socket outlet
•
whether there is good contact at the charging
contacts
If the battery pack still fails to charge, send
•
the charging unit
•
and the battery pack
to our customer service center.
To ensure that items are properly packaged
and delivered when you send them to us,
please contact our customer service or the
point of sale at which the equipment was
purchased.
When shipping or disposing of batteries and
cordless tools, always ensure that they are
packed individually in plastic bags to prevent
short circuits and fi res.
To ensure that the battery pack provides long ser-
vice, you should take care to recharge it promptly.
You must recharge the battery pack when you
notice that the performance of the device drops.
Never allow the battery pack to become fully di-
scharged. This will cause it to develop a defect.

6. Operation
Caution!
The lawn mover is equipped with a safety circuit
to prevent unauthorized use. Directly before st-
arting up the lawn mover insert the safety plug
(Fig. 8/ Item 15) and remove the safety plug again
whenever you interrupt or terminate your work.
Caution!
To prevent the equipment switching on acciden-
tally, the lawn mower is equipped with a safety
switch (Fig. 9/Item 8) which must be pressed
before the switching bar (Fig. 9/Item 1) can be
activated. The lawn mower switches itself off
when the switching bar is released. The start time
can amount to several seconds. The speed will
drop after a few seconds when in idle mode and
will rise again after a few second when in working
mode. The lawn mower switches itself off when
the switching bar is released. Repeat this process
several times so that you are sure that the ma-
chine functions properly. Before you perform any
repair or maintenance work on the equipment,
ensure that the blade is not rotating and that the
power supply is disconnected (Fig. 8).
Caution! Never open the chute fl ap when the
grass bag has been detached (to be emptied)
and the motor is still running. A rotating blade can
cause serious injuries!
Always carefully fasten the chute fl ap and grass
basket. Switch off the engine before emptying the
grass basket.
Always ensure that a safe distance (provided
by the length of the long handles) is maintained
between the user and the mower housing. Be
especially careful when mowing and changing
direction on slopes and inclines. Maintain a solid
footing and wear sturdy, non-slip footwear and
long trousers.
